Suspect arrested in Morgan Hill kidnapping, rape; one still at large in separate assault

MORGAN HILL -- Officers quickly arrested a man suspected of kidnapping and raping a woman Wednesday morning, but a suspect in another assault less than 24 hours earlier remains at large, police said.

Investigators did not say that the two incidents were connected.

The first attack was reported about 2 p.m. Tuesday. An 18-year-old woman said that an acquaintance, Eladio Cruz Facio, had sexually assaulted her while she was visiting him at an auto repair shop. Facio, a San Jose resident, is still at large, police said.

The second alleged assault was reported about 8:50 a.m. Wednesday by a 33-year-old woman who called 911, saying she had been kidnapped and raped. The suspect in that case was identified as Roberto Andres Lopez, 33, of Morgan Hill. Officers located Lopez a few hours later and arrested him.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office has charged Lopez with forcible rape, sexual penetration, assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment.

Anyone with information on either case is asked to call Morgan Hill police at 408-779-2101 or submit an anonymous tip at 408-947-7867.
